Loïc Le Floc’h, a.k.a. Fenx, is a visual artist born in the mid-1970s and living in Paris.
His work unfolds as an intimate narrative, shaped by the resonances of his emotional, cultural, and iconographic past. Emerging from the subcultures he actively took part in, Fenx has forged a personal aesthetic where memory, precision, and spontaneity converge.
Advocating a return to beauty combined with a reflection on the accuracy of gesture, he composes purified works, stripped of the superfluous, where the viewer’s gaze is invited to complete what is left unsaid.
His early interest in flat painting and vector-based imagery emerged during an era marked by the rise of digital technology and graphic design software. It was the painting of his time — one born from computer language, where data reduction and the simplification of forms responded to a new aesthetic shaped by technology. This period defined his sense of structure, clarity, and color, which still underpin his artistic approach today.
Over time, Fenx gradually moved away from this method toward a more gestural and organic language, where matter, spontaneity, and accident interact with mastery of line and precision of shape. This tension between control and freedom fuels a body of work that is immediately recognizable, unified by meaningful color palettes and a constant balance between background and form.
Fenx continues to pursue a sensitive equilibrium between control and chaos, figuration and abstraction, construction and spontaneity — a pictorial dialogue that gives his work a musical tension, both mastered and vibrant.
The female figure holds a central place in his work.
It embodies both the call toward the other and the fascination with beauty, expressing a poetic attraction imbued with elegance and restraint. Fenx’s nudes are neither voyeuristic nor idealized: they convey a subtle exploration of otherness, where sensuality is suggested rather than imposed.
His recent creations revisit a dreamed America — one of images, music, and myths from his youth — transformed into an inner landscape where memory, imagination, and emotion intersect.
Since 2021, Fenx has been represented by Galerie Outsiders, where he continues to develop a body of work deeply aligned with the spirit of the gallery: a demanding, sensitive, and contemporary form of painting that reinvents tradition with modernity.
